Facelift - Engine is basically rebuilt - new brakes - also it was a touch under $5K.

C230K auto - got tired of clutching in and out, also... I drove an Accord, things fast in a straight line but it handles like a boat. Modern enough but old enough to DIY.

Between this and a Corolla/Civic for even MORE? Hell no. Tail happy baby sedan yes please.

Slight oil seep at cam angle sensors but thats a 20 minute job. I was torn between this and E46, but also remembered riding in one down to Seattle... so.. much.. squeaking and bumping...

And as for the "Why u no AMG?" - This was a financial move. LOL trust me if I can run and afford an AMG, I'd have an AMG.

Sold my Accord lease for way more money than I could have anticipated. No more monthly payments since I don't even drive much, plus insurance is actually 10% less than the Accord.

If the experience with this one goes smoothly, I'd be on the lookout honestly for a C32 over the C55, something about superchargers I really enjoy. One can dream on. When its time for a high performance euro car, I'll know.
